Enjoy Horizon 5 ahead of its big release
Forza Horizon 5 comes in at 103GB on Xbox Series X|S and PC, while the Xbox One version is a little bigger at 116GB.
With the high-speed internal SSD storage found on Xbox Series X|S consoles, we’ve reduced the install footprint of Forza Horizon 5 on those systems by optimizing our assets for higher bandwidth streaming.
That means a shorter download combined with super-fast loading times so you can seamlessly jump into the action
So, even if you’re planning on picking up a physical copy of the game, you can still get in on this in the Xbox mobile app.
All you have to do is simply locate the game in the store and use the Download to Console option to get your download started.
Players with a digital preorder or an active Xbox Game Pass subscription should also be able to start the download through the console or web store.
Steam preloads are currently not available, but Playground says it will be sharing an update on that via its social channels soon.
